A flight in
a hot air balloon is a unique experience. Maybe you want to plan
a romantic surprise, celebrate a special anniversary or launch a
product. Whatever the occasion, the Hot Air Balloons Flight &
Ride lasts approximately an hour, the memories last a lifetime.
Hot Air Balloon Flights are suitable in every season. The balloon
rides with the wind, and to move in a particular direction, the
pilot ascends and descends to find the appropriate wind direction.
Pilots call the weather service to get a rough idea of which way
the balloon will travel. Members of the hot air balloon crew follow
the balloon by car to see where it lands to collect the passengers
and equipment, usually about 15 miles from the launch site.
How do hot air balloon fly?
Hot air balloons are based on the very basic scientific principle
that warmer air rises in cooler air (A gas balloon gets its lift
from lighter than air gases, usually helium or hydrogen.) A burner
fuelled by propane gas is positioned under an open balloon envelope
to heat the air and make the balloon rise. When the parachute valve
at the top of the envelope is opened some of the hot air escapes,
and the balloon sinks. The hot air won’t escape from the hole at
the bottom of the envelope because buoyancy keeps it moving up.
The envelope fabric is much tougher than it might appear. The balloon
rides with the wind, and to move in a particular direction, the
pilot ascends and descends to find the appropriate wind direction.
Are hot air balloons safe?
Ballooning is safe, but it is a sport and may require some physical
demands on the participant. Balloon pilots need a commercial pilot's
licence (fixed-wing) to fly. They must have at least 35 hours of
flight instruction, attend ground school for basic aviation training,
pass a written test for hot-air balloons and have a flight check.
So as long as the pilot is qualified you are in very safe hands.
When can hot air balloons fly?
Since balloons move with the air, the weather is all important in
deciding whether or not to fly. Before launching, pilots will call
a weather service to find out about climate and wind conditions
in an area. Pilots only fly when the weather is close to ideal --
when skies are clear and wind conditions are normal.
